On the outskirts of Guangzhou, Shengyeli near the Polo Temple of the Sea God; In a private house with flying eaves and arches, a special sacrifice is being held from many naturalized people in Guangfu, which belongs to the Great Qin Xi Sect.

I saw that on the altar surrounded by flowers, fruits, incense and candle offerings, there were Pangu gods/ancestors of all things from the Great Qin Xi race: Adam (Adam), Nuwa (Noe), and the first ancestor Abraham (Abraham);

There are also the twelve patriarchs (Twelve Judges) who founded the country in ancient times, Issac (Isaac), Jacob, Jacob, etc.; and Moise, Aaron, Josue, Ezra, and other saints and sages who have been reviving and saving the religion for generations.

Juxtaposed with it is the tablet of the god engraved with the respect of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, shrouded by a huge curtain depicting the text from the "Book of Detachment" in thirteen acts, called the Long Live Tablet of the Thousand Autumns.

Under the leadership of the local Greek preaching elders, hundreds of believers who also served as clansmen faced the west and bowed down and chanted to the "Creator of All Things" and "Lord of All Things" represented by the "Great Heavenly Venerable", "Lord of Heaven" and "Emperor of Heaven". Then chant a few salutes to the incarnation of the local patron - Long Live the Thousand Autumns.

Then there was a solid-colored calf pulled in, and the elders chanted the spiritual world, and then there were strong wrestlers who cut their throats and bled under the altar as the sacrifice of the "Lord of Heaven", and cut off the cow's tongue and ears for the offerings of Pangu Atan and Nuwa, and then the calf was disemboweled, and its organs were taken out to worship the twelve patriarchs and the saints of the past dynasties; In the end, the remaining cattle were dismembered, and after the large tendons were removed, they were divided into small pieces and distributed to the believers.

It's just that this kind of ritual was quickly interrupted by the loud noise of outsiders breaking into the door, and then walked in a few sergeants wearing forbidden uniforms after the front patrol, and looked at the bloody scene and couldn't help but show disgust.

"Sure enough, there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, but they are some raw leftists who drink blood."

"I knew there was a temple hidden here."

Then a young bearded man with slightly curly hair came in and chattered beside them.

"This group of fans doesn't eat fasting, they don't do things publicly, and they can't see it on weekdays."

"What, this Great Qin Jingjiao Temple is also a temple, and the reward for the first one must not be missing me."

"Everyone in it can read and write, and there are all kinds of crafts. Just pull it away and it will come in handy.。。 ”

At this time, among these stunned believers, some people came back to their senses and recognized the identity of this Hu gangzi, and shouted and scolded in exiled Chinese:

"Caligula, you liar and thief, damned traitor."

"If it weren't for the elders claiming to be everyone's help, you, a wild seed without a father and mother, would have starved to death on the streets."

"Why should you take revenge, here are all good people who keep the law."

。。。。。

In fact, these actions of the left-behind division have quickly become a new topic on the streets and alleys like a stone stirring up thousands of waves.

"This is not the old example of following the martyrdom of the Wuzong Dynasty Huichang."

"The grass thief actually began to do the thing of destroying the Buddha. Isn't this self-defeating? ”

"Buddha enemy, this is really the act of Buddha enemy."

"Closing the temple and expelling the monks is simply a means of evil demons,。。"

"It's a shame that he still claimed to be from Buddhism at the beginning, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that he is a thief who has been broken and abandoned."

"Oh no, the Taoist temples and shrines in the city are also starting to suffer,"

"The grass thief who killed a thousand knives, he has scraped these places several times before, and this time he plans to destroy the only remaining places to live."

"No, no, there is also the temple of nuns and the place of the female crown, and there is nothing to offend for the time being."

After that day, the three hospitals of "Sadness Field Recuperation Workshop" will not be abandoned. What a bad government. ”

"There are also the permanent residence fields and offerings in the temples and villages outside the city, plus the monks, tenants, slaves and maids in them, I am afraid that they will also fall into the hands of grass thieves."

"Even in addition to the convenience of the temple (temple guest house) and incense shops, all Buddhist stakeholders are prohibited from continuing to operate various businesses such as pledges, loans, workshops, and inns, and encourage the market to give rewards."

"This... This.. It's ridiculous. In the long run, the atmosphere of promoting the Dharma and promoting the Buddha in the city since the six ancestors will not decline and wither. ”

"The latest news, it is reported that the head of Baolin Temple, the head of Nanling monk Yixin Dade, has gone south to Guangfu to come to present and negotiate. There are believers along the way who are competing to greet them. ”

"That's good, maybe things will turn around."

Of course, most of the people who complained and eventually dispersed were only sharp and psychological venting in the form of pretending to be indignant, and they did not have the conditions and necessity to turn it into action, nor did they have the courage to give up everything for it.

After all, the monasteries in the city of Guangfu are certainly good at lending money and doing business and other means of making profits, but under the influence of copper smell and comfortable life, compared with those in other states who have long colluded with the rich and powerful, and want money, rich and people, they are really not enough to see in terms of noise and incitement of public opinion.

Now, after several harvests and suppressions, those who want money and no money and no one can no longer make any waves, and at most there are only some hardcore believers' verbal support and encouragement, and as for those who want to help and support in private, they are only from some people's families, and there is no climate at all for sneaking and beating.

Of course, after some corresponding efforts, some people still found the nominal left-behind envoy Wang Pan in a bent and round way, trying to test the tone and intentions.

。。。。。。。。。。

The part of the back house of the yamen that is busy is a rare comfort.

"Old Xu, you've been tossing this group of monks in the city a lot lately."

Wang Pan, who came over as a guest from time to time, snorted and said slowly with the fruit drink prepared by Zhou Huai'an.

"People are looking for me to plead and beg for mercy. It's said that it's good to leave some decency for outsiders. ”

"There are also people who ask me to change the word, saying that it will not be long after the chaos in this city, and it will start to be rebuilt everywhere, I am afraid that it will not be a waste of labor and money."

"If I don't toss this, what will happen to the tens of thousands of displaced people in this city. Do you really send them all out to learn farming? ”

Zhou Huai'an slowly stroked the fluffy fur of the "bear, wolf and dog" in his hand and smiled slightly.

"Of course, it is to take advantage of the fact that the whole city is being repaired and the construction is being carried out, and they are all organized and managed in the name of hired laborers, so as not to give those with ulterior motives an opportunity to incite and deceive."

"Otherwise, even if the rebels were able to calm them down with swords and guns, they would cause tangible and invisible losses and costs to people's hearts and property; Is it comparable to the sudden increase in the amount of money and food paid for a while? ”

"Moreover, in the long run, these things that have been repaired and built will be very beneficial to the follow-up management; And these people fell under the control of the rebel army, and in time, do they want to be able to get out easily? ”

"In contrast, copying the temple and requisitioning the disciples, that is the easy thing to do on the bright side. All of them add up, but I'm afraid it's not a fraction of that. ”

Of course, if these disciples use it well, they will be able to lead them to return to the vulgar in the future. Isn't this another talent pool of basic teachers? ”

"And what can be left is naturally the true devotion to the Dharma and not moved by external objects, isn't it a great thing for me to help the Buddha purify the portal?"

Of course, he still has another intention that he can't explain clearly, which is to digest the large amount of goods and goods obtained in the Battle of Annam in disguise and turn them into long-term bonuses and conveniences in real infrastructure, and by the way, it can also activate the market and economic circulation. However, these are not understandable to the other party for the time being.

"By the way, I heard that you got the guy with the surname Pi back."

Wang Pan's face was unconscious, and his expression was painful, and he turned to him.

"But what are the follow-up plans? It's a person who the Yellow King has valued. ”

"Now that there is such a shortage of manpower in the company, of course I can find a top pit."

Zhou Huai'an said disapprerovingly.

"His literary brilliance and reputation can't be wasted."

"I'm going to send it to the library of the Dao University Training Center, and I'm going to use it for monitoring. Just to see if anyone else will jump out or show clues."

。。。。。。。。。

A hundred miles away, in the procession to Guangfu, the Zaist letter from the Baolin Temple of the Southern Chan Ancestral Court also sat on a simple coarse carriage, closing his eyes and reciting something.

"My lord, please have some food."

A muscular monk knelt down in front of him and said respectfully

"You and other things to worship, the old man can't afford to bear."

Still closed his eyes, the old monk believed in righteousness

"The blood of more than a dozen monks in the temple has not dried up yet."

"The lord is wrong to say this, this is just an expedient measure to deter those who do not know the times."

A strong monk is the way of righteous words

"It can be said that killing is for the sake of protecting the Dharma, for the long-term future of Buddhism, and I can only grieve the lord for a while."

"In order to eradicate the treacherous demons, since the time when my generation supported the army to fight against the demons, I have already fallen into the nose at this time."

"It's for your fame and future in the imperial court, don't hesitate to do this."

The old monk Yixin opened an eyeliner slightly and sneered.

"I have never heard of a method of slaughtering fellow disciples to coerce the division commander."

"This is not only for the sake of the Buddhist uncle, but also to serve the imperial court. It's just the best of both worlds. ”

The monk said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.

"Please forgive me, my generation can't miss this opportunity again."

At this time, the carriage stopped, and then a voice reported

"There are hundreds of believers gathered on the road ahead, holding melons, vegetables, vegetables and fruits to come to worship."

"Then let's ask the owner to get out of the car for a while,"

The sturdy monk smiled slightly.

"Tell me some reason, just dissuade them by the way. Don't let us get any more out of the way. ”

Yixin, who had been sitting still, sighed when he heard this, got up and got out of the car to meet the believers.

And in the crowd around the praise of the Buddha's name and scriptures, there are also several figures who are responsible for monitoring and observing whispering.

"This old bald man looks pretty good."

Wei Xiaopu, who has the temperament of a bear child, muttered.

"I even know how to persuade these believers to leave, and I don't take anything except a little food."

"Haven't you heard that the more knowledge, the more reactionary? As long as you go the wrong way, what's the use of doing more of these face-saving efforts. ”

Xiaobei, another half-grown boy from a boat owner, retorted coldly; He was apparently a loyal supporter of a certain privately circulated "Monk's Quotations".

"The more compassionate the surface, the more bad the belly is rippling with thieves, and we haven't seen it uncommonly."

"For example, the Guanglin Temple where men steal women and prostitutes secretly; And the Nebula mage who helped the orphans and trafficked people behind his back... ”

"It's because we're still keeping an eye on this line of work. What jumps out of contact and collusion can not be missed. ”

"As for the local believers, the old men of their own census team are watching separately."
